Chapter 14

" Roselina.. It's you " Mary asked but Roselina didn't respond. Mary's body was enveloped in a red aura and she floated towards Roselina. 

She leaked out her killing intent and was about to attack Mary when she stopped her sword at Mary's throat and started to smell Mary. 

" It's me rosey.. Your friend Mary "

" .... "

Roselina looked at her with an expressionless face. She held up Mary's head with her hand and looked at her profoundly . Roselina lost all her emotions, memories and all sense of reasoning, only the scent of roselina that was on her body stopped her from killing Mary. 

" Roselina.. Don't you recognize me ? What's wrong... !? "

Roselina gave Mary an unexpected kiss on the lips. Mary blushed as she exchanged saliva with her best friend. Mary became hot,aroused and confused. 

" Ouch "

Mary screams in pain as Roselina used her thumbnail to cut Mary's cheek and by using her long tongues Roselina licked the blood off Mary's cheek. Roselina left a mark on her mary like a ID or a tracker Roselina then put her on the ground and walked away. 

" Rosey wait ! ...Wait ! " She called out as she watched as Roselina walked away and vanished into the night sky. 

" Wait.. Comeback "

The next evening, Mary helped her people restore the house that had burned down. Roselina didn't return the following day and that made Mary worry. 

" Why don't you take a break ?" Ask an old lady of the village. 

" I'm fine I can... Huh? 

She heard a horse running towards the village. It was Denziel riding on his horse towards them. He saw Mary and ran up to her. 

" Mary , I heard what happened, is everything alright? "Denziel asked and she replied in a sad tone. He looked around wondering where Roselina was only to get the shocking news. 

" She left " Mary said.

" What ? "

The two of them went to her house where they sat down and talked. 

" What do you mean she left? "

" It's just as I say she left.. I watched her walked away "

There was a silence in the room for a while before Denziel came up with a question 

" Does this have to do with Roselina being a Vampire ? "

" How did you know? " Mary asks in surprise. 

" I've always known. From the moment I met her.. I knew she was a vampire " Denziel explained. 

" Your right..she's a Vampire, more specifically she's A true Vampire "

Mary confess, it made Denziel filled with shock. 

" A true Vampire ? ...legends stats that a true Vampire is immune to sunlight and other weakness the last one exist 3000 years ag9 "

" Yes... But she's not dangerous.. You can't kill her "

Mary shouted. 

" Don't worry, I don't intent to harm her "

Denziel reassured Mary that he wouldn't harm. This made Mary confused because he was a soldier, sworn to protect his people and destroy all other races. 

" Truth is.. I've been monitoring her closely from the day we met "

" That why you keep coming to our house "

" Yes..I acted like I had other motives but in fact I was trying to figure her out.. Truth is I'm shocked "

Denziel took a sip of his tea. 

" Even though she's a Vampire, Her actions are that of a human. That day she found the bodies in the back alley instead of being surprised , she was more traumatized. Like she suffered some horrifying experience in her life...She had a fear of blood or anything " He explained. 

" You're right, She just wants to live a normal life. Rosey never wants to consume any blood and for that Everyday she got weaker and weaker and suffering pain. I offered her blood but she never did.. Until last night "

( I see, so that's what happened in town yesterday) 

Denziel remembering the moment Roselina became Ill and ran off, aslo the moment when she returned with bite marks on her hand. 

" What happened? "

" In order to save my life she made a huge sacrifice and finally gave in to her instincts and after awakening as a True Vampire, She vanished without a trace.."

Mary started to cry. 

" I can't imagine what she must be going through.. She is probably alone and a scared little girl with no home..It's all my fault.. I " She cried and cried as her tears fall into her teacup. 

" Don't worry,  we'll find her " Denziel said. 

" To be honest, I'm kinda in love with her.. And even though I'm pretty sure she'll never be interested in me.. I have to try thought"

Hearing his words Mary slammed her hands on the table and looked at him intensely. 

" That's it " She said,

" Sir Denziel .. I want to become a soldier ? "

" What !?"

Her words and looked of determination made Denziel confused. 

" I understand how you feel but being a soldier isn't...."

" I'm being serious "

" Huh !? "

" I want to become a soldier .. I want to find my friend and it's the only way to do it... I'll train hard day and night.. I'll do anything it takes to save her...Please "

Seeing her kneeling at his feet makes him ponder. 

" I'm sorry but you can't be a soldier "

Hearing his words Mary knew what his reply would be. 

" It takes skill and a strong will which you don't have .. You'll have to be loyalty to your country and if you see her onces she identified as a threat your duty is to cut her down without hesitation "

Denziel explains by drawing his sword and place it at her neck as demonstration.

" Why don't you become a hunter ? It is much better "

" A hunter ? "

Mary seems to be confused. 

" It's much better.. You get to travel from country to country.. You won't be bounded by their laws and if your able to climb the ranks you'll get more information about your friend "

Denziel took his sword and gave it to her. 

" You're strong.. I hope you succeed on your journey " He smiled. 

" Right.. I won't let you down sir "

" Just call me Denziel "

" Okay Denziel "

" Before you go.. I'll teach you a little swordsmanship "

" Really ?"

With that Mary as a new instructor. Her friend is there In the world and she's trying to help her by growing stronger.

( Wait for me Roselina.. I'll find you and bring you home) 

Mary thought to herself. 

Meanwhile near the border of California There was a barren land uninhabited by lifeforms and an old mansion. 

Surrounded by crows and trees. Inside the mansion was a throne room and the throne sat under the moonlight. 

Laying inside the throne was a small girl sleeping soundly. She was naked and her long white hair adorn her body like a sheet while glistening under the moonlight.
